Chapter 504

With the current financial resources of Kirigakure and its relationship with the Land of Iron, commissioning the Land of Iron to craft a weapon was naturally an easy task.

Zabuza took the jitte, his eyes full of burning heat.

He naturally understood that being cast entirely from chakra-conductive metal and forged by a famous craftsman of the Land of Iron, this jitte was absolutely "worth a fortune."

The preciousness of this jitte was probably no less than the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure.

If it weren't for Mizunuki Ryosuke's intervention, Zabuza would absolutely never have been able to obtain such a "divine artifact."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zabuza had a thousand words welling up in his heart, all of them gratitude toward Mizunuki Ryosuke, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to say them, so he could only bow to Ryosuke.

"Try it."

To this, Ryosuke didn't say much, just signaled softly for Zabuza to try out his weapon.

Zabuza first used the Ghost Mist Technique, then picked up the weapon and swung it gently; a massive amount of mist began to gather toward the jitte, and in an instant, the thick mist extended backward along the jitte.

The jitte in Zabuza's hand seemed to become the "handle," while the surrounding ghost mist became his "blade."

"Swoosh!"

Zabuza swung the jitte in his hand forward suddenly; the mist in the air, pulled by the jitte, gathered one after another before the edge of the thick mist blade.

A slash stretching dozens of meters was easily unleashed by Zabuza; looking at the marks cut into the ground by the thick mist, Zabuza's eyes flickered slightly.

The combat power formed by this weapon combined with the Ghost Mist Technique made even Zabuza himself unable to believe that the power of the attack he launched was so terrifying.

"Not bad."

Mizunuki Ryosuke praised; the effect of this technique could be considered to meet his expectations.

In the original work, Zabuza appeared as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen—the wielder of the Decapitating Carver.

But in reality, this Decapitating Carver, apart from being able to self-repair, had no redeeming qualities and could not add much combat power to its wielder.

Looking at the several wielders of the Decapitating Carver, none of them became top-tier powerhouses, which was naturally caused by the insufficient potential of the Decapitating Carver itself.

This sword could be considered the most trashy of the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure.

What's more, the current wielder of the broken sword, Biwa Juzo, had long since defected, and Mizunuki Ryosuke couldn't give the Decapitating Carver to Zabuza.

Therefore, in order for Zabuza to step toward a higher level and become a true pillar of Kirigakure, Ryosuke had to personally customize this set of ninjutsu and ninja tools for Zabuza.

"My lord, please bestow a name upon this ninjutsu."

Zabuza put away the ghost mist and the jitte, asking Mizunuki Ryosuke with excited eyes.

Using the jitte to swing the ghost mist and launch terrifying, sharp slashes.

Such a secret technique was already distinct from the Ghost Mist Technique itself and indeed should be renamed.

A Ghost Man who doesn't know the Silent Killing Technique always seems to be missing something.

Since that's the case...

Mizunuki Ryosuke pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said unhurriedly.

"Let's call this technique the 'Silent Killing Technique'."

The Silent Killing Technique is the signature ninjutsu Zabuza used when fighting Kakashi in the original work.

Although the name sounds high-end, it is actually just using the Hidden Mist Technique to block vision, then using the Body Flicker Technique to move quickly behind the target to carry out a beheading.

Without the Decapitating Carver, Zabuza clearly hadn't developed this technique yet.

And the brand-new Silent Killing Technique developed by Ryosuke at this moment was countless times more high-end than the original version.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Thank you, my lord, for bestowing the name!"

Zabuza knelt on one knee respectfully, recalling to Mizunuki Ryosuke with an excited voice.

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction, but soon he said with a serious face.

"You must remember, Zabuza."

"Although ghost mist has a tangible existence, its essence is still a product condensed from spirit."

"Including your own bloodline, it is also a capability on the spiritual level."

"Do not be overly obsessed with attacks on the physical level; I have a sentence I can give you."

"Blade cuts the flesh, heart cuts the soul!"

Hearing this, Momochi Zabuza stood on the spot, lost in thought for a moment.

Time returned to the present; after the severely injured Zabuza struggled to climb up from the ground, he stood on the spot and muttered to himself: "Blade cuts the flesh, heart cuts the soul..."

Thinking of this, Zabuza seemed to suddenly understand something, a look of sudden realization flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

Zabuza looked at the jitte in his hand, recalling the weight of it when Mizunuki Ryosuke handed it to him.

This weight—is called trust!

No matter what, he absolutely cannot lose!

"I must never let down Lord Ryosuke's trust in me!!!"

Thinking of this, a wisp of blood-colored mist drifted out from Zabuza's body.

Then the blood-colored mist began to slowly wrap around the jitte, and a large blade condensed from blood mist slowly formed... ===== CHAPTER 506 =====
